Why Is the Consultation the Most Important Step?
A good result never starts with a procedure, but with a diagnosis. It’s during this first appointment that everything comes into play: understanding what you really need, evaluating your skin and body type, and distinguishing between what’s a true priority and what isn’t.
The decision is made together. The doctor isn’t there to sell you a treatment plan, but to guide you toward the best solution—even if that means telling you that treatment isn’t necessary.
Before the appointment: No preparation needed.
Good news: You don’t have to do anything in particular. Just come as you are. No need to remove your makeup, bring any documents, or know the names of the procedures—that’s precisely the doctor’s job: to make the diagnosis and explain things to you.
The only exception is laser hair removal: in this case, it’s recommended that you stop waxing or plucking about two weeks beforehand and avoid shaving within five days, so the doctor can best assess your hair growth.

During the consultation: listening, assessment, plan.
Allow 30 to 45 minutes—the time needed to do things right. The process is always the same:
- We listen to you.
Your expectations, your concerns, your lifestyle. You have the first word. - We assess your skin.
Texture, firmness, volume, areas to treat: the doctor analyzes your face as a whole. - We develop a plan.
Together, we define a coherent, prioritized strategy tailored to your budget.
A Holistic Perspective: The Three-Dimensional Approach.
What sets the Matignon diagnostic apart is that it never views a problem in isolation.
Each plan is part of a
three-dimensional
approach:
- Biostimulation, for deep tissue treatment, facial contouring, and skin firmness.
- Rejuvenation, for the skin’s surface, texture, and an even complexion.
- Injections (if desired), for the dermis, wrinkles, and volume balance.
This isn’t a one-time treatment; it’s a strategy designed for the future of your skin, planned for the long term, never rushed.
What You’ll Take Away.
At the end of the consultation, you won’t walk
away
with vague promises, but with a clear, personalized, and cost-estimated plan. You’ll know exactly what’s being proposed, why, in what order, and at what cost. Price transparency is part of the process: no unpleasant surprises—everything is clear from the start, with the option to pay in installments via Cembra Pay.
In-clinic, at a Matignon capsule location, or online.
Choose the option that works best for you: at one of our clinics or Matignon capsule locations, or online for an initial remote consultation. For surgical procedures, a Crisalix 3D simulation even lets you visualize the potential results before making a decision.
Please note: Depending on the treatment being considered (injections, laser), there may be a fee for the consultation; the price will be provided when you schedule your appointment.
No obligation, at your
own
pace
This may be the most important point: the consultation is a time for advice, not pressure. You decide if—and when—you want to get started. And at Matignon, we prioritize having you see the same doctor so we can build a relationship of trust over time.
